Code Club Meet Up: Teachers, Community Leaders & Volunteers

Code Club has a meet coming up hosted by TheMosslands School. Meetups are fun, friendly and informal gatherings for teachers, community leaders, volunteers and anyone interested in finding out more about what they do.

Code Club is a network of free, volunteer-led, after school computing clubs for 9-11 year olds. They are part of the Raspberry Pi Foundation, a charity which works to put the power of digital making into the hands of people all over the world.

This meetup will start with the opportunity to attend one of two workshops for the first hour

Scratch for beginners – hands on session creating a Scratch animation using one of the early Code Club projects

Sense Hat project – hands on session working through one of the new projects for the Sense Hat emulator

If you have a laptop please bring it with you for the workshop. After the workshops will be the chance to mingle, share ideas and eat tonnes of biscuits!

If you are already running or hosting a club then come along and say hello; this is a chance to meet people involved in other clubs so we can share resources and help each other. Or if you’d like to get involved in running a Code Club then come along and find out more.

Coordinators for the area will be on hand to answer any questions you have about starting or running a club. If you have any questions in advance of the event, please get in touch via [email protected] or @CodeClubNW on Twitter.
